Yosiua 22
1 Amalalu, Yosiua da Liubene fi, Ga: de fi amola Eso Mabadi la: idi Mana: se fi huluane gilisima: ne sia: i.
In the same time, Joshua called the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the one half tribe of Manasseh.
2 E da ilima amane sia: i, “Dilia da liligi huluane amo Hina Gode Ea hawa: hamosu dunu Mousese dilima hamoma: ne sia: i amo huluane hamoi dagoi. Amola dilia da na hamoma: ne sia: i huluane nabasu.
And he said to them: “You have done all that Moses, the servant of the Lord, instructed you. You have also obeyed me in all things.
3 Eso huluane, dilia da dilia na: iyado Isala: ili dunu amo hame yolesi. Dilia da dawa: iwane Gode Ea sia: nabawane hamonanusu.
Neither have you forsaken your brothers during this long time, even to the present day, keeping the orders of the Lord your God.
4 Be wali, dilia Hina Gode da Ea ilegele sia: i defele, dilia Isala: ili yolalali ilima olofosu i dagoi. Amaiba: le, soge amo Yodane Hano eso mabadi la: idi amo dilia ilegei amola Hina Gode Ea hawa: hamosu dunu Mousese da dilima i, amo sogega buhagima.
Therefore, since the Lord your God has given your brothers peace and quiet, just as he promised: return, and go into your tents and into the land of your possession, which Moses, the servant of the Lord, delivered to you beyond the Jordan.
5 Dilia hamoma: ne sia: i amo Mousese da dilima olelei amo noga: le nabima. Dilia Hina Godema asigima, Ea hanai hamoma, Ea hamoma: ne sia: i noga: le nabima amola mae fisili, dilia dogoga, dilia asigi dawa: suga amola dilia da: i hodo huluane amoga Ea hawa: asigiwane hamoma.
And may you continue to observe attentively, and to work to fulfill, the commandment and the law that Moses, the servant of the Lord, instructed to you, so that you may love the Lord your God, and walk in all his ways, and keep all his commandments, and cling to him, and serve him with all your heart and with all your soul.”
6 Yosiua da ili asunasi. E da Gode Ea hahawane dogolegelewane fidisu ilima sia: i. E amane sia: i, “Dilia da bagadewane gaguiwane dilia sogega masunu. Dilia da ohe fi, silifa, gouli, balasi, ouli amola abula bagohame gala. Dilia sogega ahoasea, dilia fi dunu eno ilima dilia liligi dilima ha lai dunuma lai amo mogili ilima ima.” Amalalu, ilia da fisili ilia sogega masunusa: asi. Mousese da soge amo Yodane Hano eso mabadi la: idi amo mogili Ma: na: se fi la: idi ilima i. Be Ma: na: se fi la: idi eno ilima Yosiua da soge Yodane eso dabe la: idi amo ilima i. Amola e da soge eno Isala: ili fi ilima i.
And Joshua blessed them, and he sent them away. And they returned to their tents.
Now to the one half tribe of Manasseh, Moses had given a possession in Bashan. And therefore, to the one half that was left over, Joshua gave a lot among the remainder of their brothers across the Jordan, in the western region. And when he had blessed them and dismissed them to their tents,
he said to them: “Return to your settlements with much substance and wealth, with silver and gold, brass and iron, and a multitude of garments. Divide the spoils of your enemies with your brothers.”
9 Amaiba: le, Liubene, Ga: de amola Eso Mabadi Mana: se, amo fi dunu da ilia sogega buhagi. Ilia da Siailou moilai bai bagade Ga: ina: ne soge ganodini, amoga Isala: ili dunu eno fisili, ilia soge amoga doaga: musa: asi. Ilia soge da Gilia: de. Ilia da amo soge, Hina Gode da Mousesema sia: i defele, lai dagoi.
And the sons of Reuben, and the sons of Gad, and the one half tribe of Manasseh returned, and they went away from the sons of Israel at Shiloh, which is situated in Canaan, so that they might enter into Gilead, the land of their possession, which they had obtained according to the order of the Lord, by the hand of Moses.
10 Liubene fi, Ga: de fi amola Eso Mabadi Ma: na: se fi da Gilailode sogebiga doaga: loba (Gilailode da Yodane Hano eso dabe la: idi galu), ilia da hano bega: oloda bagade hamoi.
And when they had arrived at the hills of the Jordan in the land of Canaan, they built an altar of immense magnitude beside the Jordan.
11 Ba: su dunu da Isala: ili fi dunu eno ilima amane sia: ne iasu, “Nabima! Liubene, Ga: de amola Eso Mabadi Mana: se amo fi dunu da Gilailode sogebi amo Yodane ninia la: idi amoga oloda hamoi dagoi.”
And when the sons of Israel had heard of it, and certain messengers had reported to them that the sons of Reuben, and of Gad, and of the one half tribe of Manasseh had built an altar in the land of Canaan, upon the hills of the Jordan, facing the sons of Israel,
12 Isala: ili dunu da amo sia: nababeba: le, dunu huluane da Siailou moilaiga amo eso mabadili fi ilima gegemusa: gilisi.
they all assembled at Shiloh, so that they might go up and battle against them.
13 Amalalu, Isala: ili dunu da gobele salasu dunu Elia: isa amo ea mano Finia: se, amo Liubene, Ga: de amola Eso Mabadi Ma: na: se fi dunuma sia: ma: ne asunasi.
And in the interim, they sent to them, in the land of Gilead, Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the priest,
14 Isala: ili bisilua dunu nabuane gala da Finia: se sigi asi. Eso dabe laidi fi nabuane gala da afae afae fi bisilua dunu afadafa ilia fi amoga asunasi.
and ten leaders with him, one from each tribe.
15 Ilia da Liubene, Ga: de amola Eso Mabadi Mana: se fi dunu ilia soge Gilia: de amoga doaga: i.
And they went to the sons of Reuben, and of Gad, and of the one half tribe of Manasseh, in the land of Gilead, and they said to them:
16 Ilia da eso mabadi la: idi fi ilima amane sia: i, “Hina Gode Ea fi gilisi huluane da amane sia: sa, ‘Dilia da abuliba: le Isala: ili Hina Godema amo wadela: i hou hamobela: ? Dilisu da oloda hamobeba: le, Gode Ea sia: hame nabasu. Dilia da Ema fa: no bobogesu hou yolesi dagoi.
“All the people of the Lord declare this: What is this transgression? Why have you forsaken the Lord, the God of Israel, by building a sacrilegious altar, and by withdrawing from the worship of him?
17 Ninia wadela: i hou Bio goumia hamoi amo bu dawa: ma! Hina Gode da ninima olo bagade iabeba: le, ninia se bagade nabi. Amo se nabasu da wali diala. Bu wadela: le hamomu da hamedei.
Is it a small thing to you that you have sinned with Baal of Peor, and that the stain of that crime continues among us, even to the present day? And many of the people have fallen.
18 Dilia da wali Ema fa: no bobogemu higama: bela: ? Dilia da wali eso Ema odoga: sea, E da aya Isala: ili dunu huluane ilima ougimu.
And yet you have forsaken the Lord today, and tomorrow his wrath will rage against all of Israel.
19 Defea! Dilia soge amo ganodini dilia da Hina Godema nodone sia: ne gadomusa: defele hame o ledo gala ba: sea, Hina Gode Ea soge eso dabe la: ididili (amo ganodini Ea Da: bena: gele abula diasu diala), amoga misa. Ninia gilisisu ganodini soge ilegema. Be dilia Godema hame nabasu hou hamosa: besa: le amola E da ninia da hame nabasu dunu dawa: sa: besa: le, ninia Hina Godema oloda eno mae hamoma. Ea olodadafa da gagui dagoi.
But if you consider the land of your possession to be unclean, cross over to the land in which is the tabernacle of the Lord, and live among us. But do not withdraw from the Lord, and from our fellowship, by building an altar contrary to the altar of the Lord our God.
20 Sela ea mano A: iga: ne bu dawa: ma! E da Gode Ea sia: i amo liligi huluane da wadela: musa: ilegei dagoi, amo hame nabasu. Ea wadela: i houba: le, Hina Gode da Isala: ili dunu huluanema se iasu. A: iga: ne fawane hame be eno dunu amolawane, da ea wadela: le hou hamoiba: le bogoi.”
Did not Achan, the son of Zerah, go against the commandment of the Lord, and so his wrath was laid over all the people of Israel? And he was only one man. If only he had perished in his wickedness alone!”
21 Liubene, Ga: de amola Eso Mabadi Ma: na: se fi dunu da Yodane Hano eso dabe la: idi fi amo bisilua dunuma bu adole i,
And the sons of Reuben, and of Gad, and of the one half tribe of Manasseh responded to the leaders of the delegation from Israel:
22 “Gasa Bagadedafa Gode da Hinadafa! Gasa Bagadedafa Gode da Hina Godedafa! Ninia amo hou hamoi E dawa: , amola dilia amolawane dawa: mu ninia da hanai. Ninia da hame nabasu hou hamoi ganiaba amola dafawaneyale dawa: su hou fisiagai ganiaba, dilia da nini medole legemu da defea gala: loba.
“The Lord, the almighty God, the Lord, the almighty God, he knows, and also Israel will understand: If we have constructed this altar with intent of transgression, let him not preserve us, but instead punish us immediately.
23 Ninia da Hina Gode Ea sia: mae nabawane ninisu oloda gobele sanasimusa: o gagoma amola hahawane gilisisu iasu hahamoma: ne hamoi ganiaba, Hina Gode Hisu da ninima se imunu da defea gala: loba.
And if we have acted with a mind so that we might present upon it holocausts, and sacrifice, and victims of peace offerings, let him inquire and judge.
24 Be hame mabu! Diligaga fi da hobea ninigaga fi ilima sia: sa: besa: le, ninia da beda: iba: le agoane hamosu. Ilia da ninigaga fi ilima agoane sia: sa: besa: le amane, ‘Ninia Isala: ili Hina Gode da dilia Gode hame.
Instead, we have acted with this greater thought and design, that we would say: Tomorrow your sons will say to our sons: ‘What is there between you and the Lord, the God of Israel?
25 E da Yodane Hano alalo amo da afafasu alalo, ninia amola dilia Liubene amola Ga: de amo afafama: ne ilegei dagoi.’ Amasea, diligaga fi da ninigaga fi ilia Hina Godema nodone sia: ne gadosu logo hedofasa: besa: le, ninia agoane hamoi.
The Lord has stationed the river Jordan as the border between us and you, O sons of Reuben, O sons of Gad. And therefore, you have no part in the Lord.’ And by this occasion, your sons would turn away our sons from the fear of the Lord. And so we sought something better,
26 Amaiba: le, ninia da oloda hamoi. Gobele salimusa: o Hina Godema iasu hamoma: ne hame hamoi.
and we said: Let us build us an altar, not for holocausts, and not to offer victims,
27 Be amo da ninima, dilima amola ninigaga fi huluane ilima dawa: digima: ne olelesu agoane dialoma: ne hamoi. Amo wanonesisu ea olelesu da ninia eso mabadi fi da dafawane Hina Gode Ea ilegei sogebi amoga Ea hadigi abula diasuga Ema nodone sia: ne gadolala amola Ema Hahawane Gilisili Olofole Iasu amola Wadela: i Hou Dabe Ima: ne gobele salasu iaha. Diligaga fi da ninigaga fi Hina Godema afafai, amo ilia sia: sa: besa: le agoane hamoi.
but as a testimony between us and you, and between our descendants and your progeny, so that we may serve the Lord, and so that it may be our right to offer holocausts, and victims, and peace offerings, and so that tomorrow your sons may not say to our sons: ‘You have no part in the Lord.’
28 Ninia da agoane dawa: i galu. Amo hou fa: no agoane ba: loba, ninigaga fi da amane sia: la: loba, ‘Ba: ma! Ninia aowalali da oloda amo Hina Gode Ea olodadafa defele hamosu. Amo da hahawane iasu o gobele salasu hamoma: ne hame hamoi. Be ninia dunu amola dilia dunu nini huluanema dawa: digima: ne olelesu dialoma: ne.’
And if they decide to say this, they shall respond to them: ‘Behold, the altar of the Lord, which our fathers made, not for holocausts, and not for sacrifice, but instead as a testimony between us and you.’
29 Ninia da Hina Godema odoga: su hou hame hamomu. Ninia da Hina Godema fa: no bobogesu hou fisili, oloda amo da: iya Wadela: i Hou Dabe Ima: ne gobele salasu amola Hahawane Gilisili Olofole Iasu hamoma: ne hamedafa hamomu. Ninia olodadafa afae fawane da ninia Hina Gode Ea olodadafa amo da Ea esalebe Da: bena: gele abula diasu ea midadi lela.”
May this wickedness be far from us, such that we would withdraw from the Lord, and would forsake his paths, by constructing an altar to offer holocausts, and sacrifices, and victims, contrary to the altar of the Lord our God, which was built before his tabernacle.”
30 Gobele salasu dunu Finia: se amola Isala: ili fi eso dabe la: idi esalebe bisilua dunu nabuane gala da Liubene, Ga: de amola Eso Mabadi Ma: na: se fi dunu ilia sia: nababeba: le, olofoi galu.
And when Phinehas, the priest, and the leaders of the delegation who were with him, had heard this, they were pleased. And they accepted very willingly the words of the sons of Reuben, and of Gad, and of the one half tribe of Manasseh.
31 Gobele salasu dunu Elia: isa ea mano Finia: se, da ilima amane sia: i, “Wali ninia dawa: ! Hina Gode da nini sigi esala! Dafawane! Dilia da Ema hame nabasu hou hame hamoi. Amaiba: le, Isala: ili da Hina Gode Ea se iasu hame ba: mu.”
And Phinehas, the priest, the son of Eleazar, said to them: “Now we know that the Lord is with us. For you are a stranger to this transgression. And so you have freed the sons of Israel from the hand of the Lord.”
32 Amalalu, Finia: se amola Isala: ili bisilua dunu da Liubene fi amola Ga: de fi Gilia: de sogega esalu fisili, Ga: ina: ne sogega buhagi.
And he returned with the leaders, from the sons of Reuben and of Gad, out of the land of Gilead, into the parts of Canaan, to the sons of Israel. And he reported to them.
33 Isala: ili dunu da hahawane ba: i amola Godema nodosu. Ilia musa: sia: amo gegemusa: amola soge amoga Liubene dunu amola Ga: de dunu da fi galu amo wadela: musa: , amo sia: yolesi dagoi.
And the word pleased all who heard it. And the sons of Israel praised God, and they no longer said that they would go up against them, and fight, and destroy the land of their possession.
34 Liubene fi dunu amola Ga: de fi dunu da amane sia: i, “Amo oloda da Hina Gode da Godedafa amo ninia huluanema dawa: digima: ne olelesu ba: su agoane.” Amaiba: le, ilia amo olodama “Dawa: digima: ne Olelesu Ba: su” dio asuli.
And the sons of Reuben and the sons of Gad called the altar that they had built: Our testimony that the Lord himself is God.
